Transcriptome analysis of the oriental fruit fly (Bactrocera dorsalis).

<h4>Background</h4>The oriental fruit fly, Bactrocera dorsalis (Hendel), is one of the most economically important pests in the world, causing serious damage to fruit production. However, lack of genetic information on this organism is an obstacle to understanding the mechanisms behind i...

The results generated 484,628 contigs, 70,640 scaffolds, and 49,804 unigenes. Of those unigenes, 27,455 (55.13%) matched known proteins in the NCBI database, as determined by BLAST search.

To confirm the DGE results, the expression profiles of six randomly selected genes were analyzed.<h4>Conclusion/significance</h4>This transcriptome greatly improves our genetic understanding of B. dorsalis and makes a huge number of gene sequences available for further study, including both genes of known importance and genes of unknown function.
